George Regan in Jersey c 1838

[Rodw1962]

I would really appreciate some help tracing the family of my great grandfather George Regan.

He was married in Liverpool in 1869 to Ellen Doyley and his father is entered as James Regan, ropemaker. George's address was in Liverpool.

In 1893 he signs on for a 2 year voyage on the Evesham Abbey at Liverpool and he puts his age as 54 and birthplace as Jersey.

He returns to Liverpool in 1895 and dies that year, with the age given as 57.

He does not appear in any census - probably as he was at sea in 1871-1891. Nor any of the early seaman's records on findmypast.

I am wondering if the surname was Regan - or some form of it Rigan/Rogon/Riggon.

I could not find any ropemakers in the 1841 Jersey census named James with a son George but his father may have died by then.

Any help on any parish records in Jersey would be very useful.

Many thanks.
